What does it truly mean to live without limits? Join us for an inspiring conversation with Jeanine and Doug Richens, the visionary founders of Gray Space. With deep roots in personal caregiving and leadership within the LDS Church, they have transformed their experiences into a coaching company designed to unlock human potential. Doug’s extensive career and research on the Neuroscience of Compassion at Stanford University offer unique insights into managing compassion fatigue and chronic stress. Meanwhile, Jenine's heartfelt stories of caring for her mother and raising six children bring authenticity and warmth to our discussion.
We also explore the transformative power of shifting one’s mindset about traumatic experiences. Trauma does not have to anchor your identity. Hear our deep dive on healing, rewiring habitual thoughts, and embracing personal growth, especially for women stepping into leadership roles. We discuss the evolving relationship between mental health and workplace dynamics, emphasizing the importance of bringing your whole self to work and the liberating act of self-acceptance.
Balancing leadership and self-care is no easy feat, but it’s essential for effective leadership. Through touching narratives, such as the contrasting lives of a selfless single mom and a friend who prioritized self-care, we underscore the necessity of making time for oneself daily. We introduce the concept of "ruggedization," the importance of a supportive network, and the significance of knowing your "why."
We wrap up with an engaging chat with Doug Richens, providing insights into the impactful work being done at Gray Space. Don't miss the chance to connect with Gray Space and learn practical strategies for integrating compassion and personal growth into your daily life.
